| Perfect Drivers |
| Reviewed By: |
Art Gumbus (Stratford, CT) |
The Garrett Wade set of Perfect Handle screw drivers is just about as close as one could get for a modern version of the old H.D. Smith Perfect Handle drivers. The set is composed of 4 flat blade drivers. Each driver is well made and is shipped in oiled plastic bag assembled in a thin cardboard box.
The fit and feel of the drivers is good and is easily improved as follows... I just rub the wood with 0000 steel wool which knocks down any varnish whiskers. The result is a great feeling wooden handle.
Overall I give these reproductions 5 stars and applaud Garrett Wade for searching out and carrying them.
 January 2012 Rate & Review Grand Prize $100 Winner. Congratulations, Art!! |

| Can Be Improved |
| Reviewed By: |
John T. (Rockford, Illinois) |
I agree with Bob that packaging has a lot to be desired a Garrett Wade would be smart to listen the suggestion it be improved. Mine arrived very dirty in plastic bags. I also agree with the comment that if one is going to give them as a gift, I would recondition the tools (at least wipe the dirt off the tool handles) & repackage. These are not made with the care of a USA made tool but functional, tough, and a good value. A handy person can also make them into a very nice looking set of tools with a little bit of effort. (Stain & finish the handles, touch up the rough grinding work)
Response By: Garrett Wade Tech Department
Thank you so much for taking the time to post about the screwdriver set.
We are sincerely very sorry to hear that the tools arrived dirty and not packed very well. We have forwarded your suggestion to our warehouse manager. They have been oiled by the manufacturer but have made it known to him that around the holidays it is very important that an item arrives in clean condition.
Thank you for bringing this oversight to our attention. |

| There's Nothing Like Old-Time Tools |

| These four screwdrivers are the best of the well-remembered old-time tools that my father and grandfather used every day. I like the feel of the rounded wood handles. I was delighted with their appearance, and even the smell of the light "sewing machine" oil that protected them in shipping. |

| Shaped like a zeppelin , tough as a tank and worthy of building or maintaining both . One solid piece of cold hard steel runs form the tip, all the way up the shaft where it slips into your palm as though it's hardwood handle were created for your firm grip . Old school and mean looking . So tough the first time I went to use it the screw got scared and twisted itself in . Set of four , one each of six , eight , ten , and twelve inches ... depending on preference or who's measuring . |
